Cemetery Man
Movie Review

Reviewed March 24, 2007
Granted, I was flat on my face with cramps and flu when I watched this, but physical pain generally makes me more appreciative of morbid movies and black humor… yet this zombie-riddled tale of a cool-headed gravekeeper (Rupert Everett) and his half-witted assistant left me mostly unamused. Oh, there were some snickers to be found in their morbid misadventures—the half-witted assistant’s love affair with a severed head was somewhat charming, and Everett’s desperate attempts to reunite with/rid himself of his dead/undead lover had a certain gruesome appeal—but mostly this movie chose to wander down every potential plot digression it came across, to the detriment of humor and storyline. Even the bleakly bizarre ending didn’t bump it into 4-star territory. Still, it’s worth a look-see if you come across it cheap, if only for the undead Boy Scout troop.
